At Energy House 2.0, we recently put the York YKF 5Kw Monobloc Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP) through its paces to assess its performance in real-world conditions. Working alongside BRS Heat Pumps, we tested the unit in a specially controlled environment designed to replicate typical and extreme UK weather conditions. With the push for more sustainable […]
Late last year we undertook some work at Energy House 1 for Anchor Magnets to provide testing of their Warmroom magnetic radiator foil project. The testing simulated space heating during a typical UK winter day, to measure the products ability to reduce heating costs and improve energy efficiency. What is Warmroom? Warmroom is an easy-to-use […]
At Blind Screen™, we are extremely grateful to Salford University Energy House Labs for their outstanding work in testing our Blind Screen™ products. Their rigorous analysis confirmed a 49% reduction in heat loss through the window. This testing has provided concrete evidence of our products’ superior energy efficiency. Energy House Labs has not only validated […]
As part of the ERDF- supported Energy House 2.0 project, the Homely system was tested in the Smart Meters > Smart Homes Laboratory at the University of Salford which has a choice of heating systems available, including an Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP). A test compared two 24-hour periods with and without the Homely control […]
Keith Rimmer of KSR approached the Energy House 2.0 team with a prototype of his ‘Thermocill’ product. This is a simple device that is fitted to under the window board of a window that sits directly above a central heating radiator which is the arrangement commonly found in most homes. KSR developed their own test […]
In the drive to build new homes to an exceptionally high standard, including energy efficiency, the spotlight has fallen on the off-site construction of modular homes. These buildings are constructed as much as possible in an off-site factory location, where a skilled workforce is permanently based, and quality can be controlled much more easily. The […]
